Buying a stock plan online is a fast start, but almost no plan comes ready to build as-is. By Design modifies purchased plans and adapts proven layouts so they fit your site, your budget and your local permit requirements.
What's included
- Review of your purchased plan for constructability and code issues
- Layout modifications — moving walls, resizing rooms, adding garages
- Reversing or re-orienting the plan for your lot
- Foundation type changes: crawlspace, slab or full basement
- Elevation changes to update the exterior look
- Redrawn, stamped-ready construction set
Most stock plans need work
Plans sold nationally are drawn for a generic lot and a generic code. Ceiling heights, footing depths, energy notes and framing details often need adjusting before a Kentucky permit office will accept them.
Cheaper than starting over
If the bones of a plan are right, modifying it is usually the fastest and most affordable path to a permit-ready set.
